Its crazy that this was my final full week in the OEM! But we made the most of it and had a good time.
On Tuesday, we had MLC on zoom, then we finished planning our week. We visited with a sweet lady, then went downtown to visit some people. Somehow we are always drawn to the crazy things happening downtown. We get close to one of the houses, but all the surrounding streets are blocked off by police. So many police. We park and are visiting some other people around there when we see an officer standing of the back of a truck with a big gun aimed at this house. It was definitely a fun experience. We always seem to run into something downtown. We had a super fun dinner that night!
Wednesday was funny! This one member also gave us a gallon of milk so we ran over to the church to put it in the fridge for later. We ran into 4 different sets of elders there, so that was fun! We visited a few more people, then came back to the church for a meeting with the stake president. The we had dinner with the Quacks. We were there for way too long but it was so fun! We had a blast!
On Thursday, a member taught us how to crochet! We had run to Walmart before visitinh her and grabbed crochet hooks and yarn. It is so addicting! Sister Richey and I spent any free time doing it. We joked that we had officially become old ladies. We heart attacked a bunch of doors, then we went to young womens.
We visited a ton of members on Friday! We had a blast talking with them. Then we had dinner with the Stubbs and they did a valentine's themed tea party! They had a bunch of little food, like mini heart shaped cucumber sandwiches, little cream puffs, spring rolls, some strawberry things, it was so much fun! And they gave us chocolates for valentines day. It was so sweet of them! I'm gonna miss the Stubbs!
Saturday was good! We cleaned the church, then had a lesson, then did a bunch of visits and church invites. We had dinner with a family who are newer to the church and had a good conversation.
Its crazy that Sunday was my final Sunday in Oregon! We had a couple lessons with members and I did some packing! We also had a super fun dinner! They had 4 kids and adopted 5 more and they live on a farm. We got to hold some baby goats and they were absolutely adorable!
Over the course of my mission, my testimony of Jesus Christ has been strengthened and I am excited to apply what I've learned at home. I will see you all on Friday!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
